    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Bruce Hornsby and the Range- The Way it Is (1986) ** 1/2 I haven't really been much of a fan through the years on soft easy listening rock. There were a few exceptions though. Today's review is one that has a nice easy vibe, but does have just that nice mix of...

    Is Your Partner Into Rock?

    Back in the late 60's, all we had in Texas and Louisiana was AM Country and Western. I mean the twangy Buck Owens and Conway Twitty kinda stuff. But at 11 PM every night, most of us rockers tuned into Beaker Street -KAAY in Little Rock, which was a powerful AM station that reached most of...

    Quiet Songs.

    I am not really a fan of "New Age" stuff, but there are a couple of Enya tunes (guilty pleasure) that are my "go-to" like on a stressful Freeway drive, or close. These to me are the height of etheral like relaxation.

    Favorite 1985 Albums

    '85 seems kind of like an off year. Of those, for me a toss up between Brothers in Arms and Listen Like Thieves

    Review The Moody Blues- Days of Future Past (1967) **** 1/2

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- The Moody Blues- Days of Future Passed - (1967) **** 1/2 There have been great discussions about the early days of Prog, and including trying to dissect when and where it was born. About a half dozen examples could be thrown out there. This is my actual pick...

    Classic Rock Album of the Day- Stevie Ray Vaughn- Texas Flood- (1983) *** 1/2 I discovered SRV at an Austin bar on 6th street back in what was I guess either 1980 or 1981. I think it was like $3 cover, but man was the place packed. What I saw was a wizard who IMO was doing nothing more than...
